New House or Resale

Advantages of Buying a New House

Purchasing an old or resale house is much cheaper than constructing a new house but there are some factors to consider before deciding whether buying new or resale house.

  • You can choose your own design as well as choices in house features and amenities. Your home builder or contractor can add personal touches that match to your personal taste and needs.
  • There is no home repair cost. Unlike the resale house, there are plenty of things you need to repair since it is old and probably there is something wrong during the construction that is why owner wants to sale it.  Some new house can have repairs but kept at a minimum and builder includes warranties for a certain period of time.
  • Easy implementing of new technologies.  In the resale home, implementing new technology may be awkward since resale house is not design on the new trend and if you do it can be too costly.
  • New house design is more durable that the older house. Some materials founds in older house can be hazardous to the health.  New house nowadays follows building codes requires by the National Building Codes and safety requirements than older houses. Wiring systems have been improved as well as the house construction methods and techniques in order to build a house that is suited in today’s environment.
  • Resale house has old design.  House renovation is very costly.
